Product Description

While baby-sitting in a hotel, a beautiful woman (Marilyn Monroe) begins a flirtation with one of the hotel's guests (Richard Widmark). Rebounding from a breakup with his girlfriend (Anne Bancroft), he's willingly seduced by the baby-sitter and ends up in bed with her. When the child wakes up and disturbs their lovemaking, the baby-sitter reveals homicidal tendencies and terrorizes them both. A frightening and provocative exploration of a murderer's mind.

From the Back Cover

A beautiful babysitter (Marilyn Monroe) begins an affair with one of the guests (Richard Widmark) in the hotel where she is a live-in babysitter. But when the child she cares for interrupts their lovemaking, Monroe becomes a dangerous madwoman. Also starring Anne Bancroft, the chilling, provocative Don't Bother to Knock brilliantly showcases Monroe in a rare portrayal of a truly dark character.

This is one of Ms. Monroe's earliest movies and it is, surprisingly, one of her best. Her acting is superb, and really shows that she can handle dramatic roles and is so much more than a dumb blonde. Too bad the studios couldn't see it when she was with us. Don't miss this one!

This movie was exquisite in acting and in the script. I would see this again. Ms. Monroes acting was very fine. Ms. Monroe shows depth of study into her charcter and depth of expression. In this short movie, more of her dramatic abilities are evident. This was an earlier film in her catalog of films.

Don't Bother to Knock is one of Marilyn Monroe's best and most unique roles. She is just as amazing in this as she is in all of her most famous movies. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys old movies, especially ones with Marilyn Monroe, and suspense.

Holy cow this movie was messed up. Anyone who says Marilyn Monroe cannot act should watch this movie. It messed with myhead because it was so disturbing. It is worth it to watch one time just to get new respect for her acting abilities. I have read somany negative things about her, but this movie really showed she could act well in a completely different role than fluff or ditzy.

River of no return: lovely backdrop and a hauntingly beautiful opening song. Marilyn sings, Indians attack. Mitchum literally takes the term "sweep a girl off her feet" to heart he grabs Monroe and carries her out of a saloon, I died from laughter!Niagara: such a marvelous backdrop for a movie: Niagara falls! A tale of murder with a twist, Monroe's lover is murdered instead of her husband and she goes a little crazy, but in the end the hubby kills her and he dies because he went down the falls.Monkey business: black and white, grant plays an absentminded chemist, hilarity ensues.Don't bother to knock:Monroe plays a woman who isn't playing with a full deck.Let's make love: the movie began with a weird intro of a family, a comedy. It has cameos from Bing Crosby, Gene Kelley, and Milton Berle.I loved let's make love and river of no return, I found monkey business and don't bother to knock to be enjoyable, but Niagara was a complete throw away I disliked it thoroughly!

This video collection comes wrapped nicely in and is nothing short of excellent. Monkey Business and Don't Bother To Knock are my favorite two movies to watch. The picture quality is really good and the box the movies come in is simply beautiful. With Ms, Monroe on the cover in a Colorful pretty pink dress. I love it and would recommend this set to anybody who is a Marilyn Monroe fan or just likes her for her stunning beauty.
